The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl

Bowled for the first time. It's an experience one must encounter.

We came here Saturday for dinner on Memorial day weekend. We were immediately seated. Server was very nice but they were out of so much food especially for a kid to enjoy. Also only had a few beers available. It was difficult having to remember what they were out of when trying to decide on what to eat. We were recommended to eat the tasty chicken which was very good! We were able to try the lemon crunch since strawberry was out. It was amazing. I would call and see when is the best time to eat here to make sure you have the full menu.

This is a really cool place. The food was delicious! The Oxtail soup was amazing.

No frills space with great food and service in a bowling alley. Grab their chopped salad and don't miss out on their desserts. And after that, grab a lane and play bowling!!!

Oxtail soup is very tasty

Real local the food

I get very happy when I’m doing a review for somewhere in Aiea. This is my hometown after all. Since I’m married, I’ve lived in Wahiawa just almost as long as I did growing up in Aiea but my ties are still as strong as they ever were. My reviews however, I promise you, will always be honest! The Alley in Aiea Bowl has always been a favorite of mine. The food here is SUPER ONO and the Pepsi Cola Turkey Sandwich is a must. This is the only place on Oahu that I would pick turkey out of my favorite Teri beef, Kalbi, BBQ chicken or smoked rib meats. Nowhere else would I do that. It’s that incredibly delicious. Order some waffle fries, any dessert from here and you’re happy the rest of the day. My husband loves the hamburger steak plate here and I guarantee you just about everything else on the menu too because after many many years of eating here is proof. Today I was craving their carrot cake that not many talk about because all their desserts are crazy yummy but I’m here to say it’s a slice of happiness! Placing a phone order here does sometimes require patience. I actually called the day before a couple times but no answer. The female that answered today wasn’t cheerful or accurate ( I was actually missing an order of waffle fries. I know I ordered two) so check your order. Still, it’s worth making here a regular spot and support long time local businesses!

The tasty chicken might have been the best chicken I've ever had in my life. Crispy but light, sauce was excellent, and so tender and juicy.

We came for lunch after locals recommended it but once we saw the desert case, we decided to order desserts. The pumpkin crunch was my favorite- so cool and creamy. But the lemon crunch cake is what they are known for. It was a moist sponge with thin layers of lemon curd and crunch topping.

Coming from a Baker! There lemon crunch hit the spot!!

My husband and I ordered a mix plate Kalbi & Hamburger steak with fruit punch which cost $26.00. We anticipated it to be Ono but was so disappointed!!! The kalbi was teriyaki and hamburger steak was average. I guess a lot of people don't know the difference between the two but both my husband and I do know the difference. The place is highly popular and I do not mean to deter others with this bad review but at least make kalbi if you're going to advertise it as kalbi not teriyaki, what a waste of $26.00!!!

Need a better system of checking people into wait list. We had to complain about people being seated before our group. We had the same size group and other people were seated first. The actual server gets 5*.

Saw it on TVs Diners, dives and drive in's. It did not disappoint very yummy!

Parking: Parking wasn't too bad but the place is hard to find using android maps, took us to the lower levels of this outdoor shopping mall. The restaurant is inside the bowling center and the bowling center is on the top level. In some parts there seems to be 3 levels. Anyway once you find it you'll be in for a treat.
